Don't you mean about a hour and a half north of Austin or possibly a hour and a half south of Dallas?.... I've got to get by your place of business and check out that Hookah. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/imag...lies/wavey.gif

Has anyone here tucked their fender inners before due to rubbing? I just got some new tires and they rub a little in the front; but I haven't found any clear post about it.

You need to just use your hands palm up with your fingers on the inside of the fender well against the plastic and squeeze..... The metal behind the plastic bends pretty easily........Your signature reminds me of the Riflemans Creed that was recited every night by the bunch of fools I hung out with for a while a long time ago.

Oh ok, I noticed a few metal tabs behind the fenders and bent those upward (towards the fender) a little whenever I was taking a look at it yesterday evening. I'll try doing this tomorrow morning; hopefully that is all that will be needed.

And yes, my signature's quote was inspired by the Rifleman's Creed. It came to mind just after I had heard the creed being recited on the movie Full Metal Jacket.

Hootie, you should've bought my fenders when I was selling it. They were already rolled. Shop charges are usually 75 a fender.

warning on front fenders, cut your tabs off if you are really rolling it or you will get waves on your fender line. expect paint peel as well.

You cant roll the rear bumper and if your tire is flush, you will need to cut the rear bumper and put tap screw higher up.

I have my front set at 2.0. Inner tire wear is quick under 3-4 months of driving.

i just need that lip that is on the fender part. that is the part that rubs not the tab that holds the bumper. 15x7 +35 offset is not too bad with azenis but under hard cornering it rubs bad.
